RISKey Components Related to Pressure Injury Formation: An Initial Investigation Into Pressure Distribution and Blood Perfusion Responses in Wheelchair Users
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft tissue around bony prominences in the buttocks and back are high-risk areas prone to the development of pressure injuries. From a clinical perspective, prevention of pressure injuries all together is the ideal situation. ...
Determining Isolated Thumb Forces in Osteoarthritic and Healthy Persons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) can dramatically impair thumb function resulting in the inability to complete basic tasks. Development of a method to detect thumb forces changes is essential to understand of the ...
The Female Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint: Motion and Force Changes Due to Arthritis and Surgical Intervention
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) has been one of the most common locations of hand OA. CMC OA disproportionately occurs in females over males. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be needed. However, ...
Determining Functional Finger Capabilities of Healthy Adults: Comparing Experimental Data to a Biomechanical Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The human hand has a wide range of possible functional abilities that can change with age, disease, and injury, and can vary from individual to individual and subsequently can affect a person's quality of life. The objective ...
A Potential Tool for the Study of Venous Ulcers: Blood Flow Responses to Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Venous ulcers are deep wounds that are located predominantly on the lower leg. They are prone to infection and once healed have a high probability of recurrence. Currently, there are no effective measures to predict and ...
Kinematic Investigation of Healthy, Arthritic, and Postsurgery Thumbs: Is the Metacarpophalangeal Joint the Gateway to Carpometacarpal Arthritis?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is one of the most likely joints to develop osteoarthritis (OA). If conservative treatments fail to alleviate symptoms, surgery may be pursued. Kinematic outcomes of CMC surgery ...
